Jim Amidon — Sunday’s performance by the 15 senior members of the Wabash College Glee Club was far different than any normal Glee Club concert. And it might just have been the most entertaining concert I’ve attended in the Lewis Salter Concert Hall.

Check out four photo albums from the concert here, here, here, and here.

Anyone at Wabash who has attended a Glee Club concert over the last four years knows the depth of the senior class — 15 strong. They’ve sung from Ladoga to San Francisco and Philly to England over their four years on campus, and through it all they have represented Wabash in extraordinary fashion.

On Sunday afternoon, they went out with a bang while performing “Our Stories, Our Songs,” which showcased the talent of 2009 Glee Club seniors. The seniors selected all 14 songs that helped tell their Wabash stories, and Royce Gregerson knitted it all together with a thoughtful and often humorous script.

But there was far more than singing.

Jacob Peerman dashed from the balcony, where he and Ross McKinney introduced “Take a Chance on Me,” down to the stage, where six members of the club serenaded three women who had been brought to the stage. At the conclusion of the song, only one woman remained — Peerman’s girlfriend, Kassi — and Peerman took a knee and proposed marriage to the howling delight of the crowd.

Just before Peerman’s emotional proposal, senior Campbell Robbins had his own moment. Joined by his younger brothers, Luke and Peter, Campbell dragged his father, Clay ’79, onto the stage while the glee Club sang “I Want a Girl.” With dad singing along, the boys saluted their mother, Amy, who was seated near the stage.

The high-octane, highly caffeinated version of “Coffee in a Cardboard Cup” was a showstopper.

While the entire performance provided a lot of powerful moments — including “Try to Remember” sung by Justin Bilby, Royce Gregerson, and Jay Brouwer — a couple of songs really stood out.

Duncan Dam, a native of Hanoi, Vietnam, sat by himself on a stool under a cool spotlight while he sang “When You Say Nothing at All.” He’s a great example of the opportunities Wabash offers its students — an international student who has traveled extensively with the Glee Club and who will enroll in a chemistry Ph.D. program at Northwestern this fall.

Nathan Rutz, with flowing hair and matching beard, gave an emotional performance of “Gethsemane” from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Similarly, Royce Gregerson wowed me with his performance of “February Song.”

But these men have left their mark at the College as an ensemble — spreading the honored name of Wabash across this country and abroad.

Perhaps nothing showed that ensemble spirit — and showcased the remarkable friendships among the members — more than “Come Travel with Me,” which ended the show and brought down the house.
